Thrifty Vintage Christmas

I've been working hard on my antique booth.  Sales at the booth and on Etsy are consistent. 

I won't get rich, but I'm having fun and the cash is steady.  My back is tired, but I'm happy!  :) 

 

HI MOM! 

 

We're taking our 17 year old son on a Christmas cruise.  He is a beautiful human being.  We decided to pack the year full of memories before he leaves us next year for college.  :( 

 

Thought I would share some fabulously yummy Vintage Christmas I've found on my thrifty hunts recently.  Vintage Christmas is pretty much my favorite thing EVER.  If they don't move in the antique booth at Annetta's Attic in Dade City, FL next week while I'm gone, I'll put them on Etsy. 

 

Aren't they wonderful???? 

 

She was the Eliza Doolittle of Christmas figurines.  She was filthy. 

Gave her a bath and now we're working on her grammar. 

 I just LOVE her.  So, so sweet.

 

This little fella was teeny tiny.  He became a gift.  He's gone.  I miss him.

 

This little Santa necklace was so unique.  I haven't seen something like him before. 

It may not have been "vintage" but it looked like those old santa head mugs.  It also became a gift. 

 

Oh my goodness, this group is so stinking cute.  It's a plaster statue item with a music box in the back. 

The music box actually works; often they are broken by now.  Adorable and it's in excellent condition  Love it. 

 

I've been collecting Santa Head mugs for almost 20 years.  I was thrifting with friends.  I saw these mugs across a crowded parking lot. 

Jumped out of the car and grabbed them.  I was SO HAPPY!!!  I kept 3 and I'm selling the rest. 

 

We can never own enough vintage ornaments.  If you want my advice, buy them when you find them (if they are not too much $$$). 

They are getting harder and harder to find.  Get them now.  :) 

 

Most excellent Mr. and Mrs. Claus Salt and Pepper in PERFECT condition. 

It's rare to find made in Japan ceramics without paint chippings. 

Oh so cute.  I love this set. 

 

Vintage Christmas Planter, I can't remember who makes it.  It is USA made though.  It's olive green.  Kinda funky. 

Olive green looks best with pinks and purples.  I'm showing it with hot pink ornaments. 

 

I've been buying up vintage wooden ornaments for awhile, if they are in good condition.  These were just too fun. 

OOOps, looks like Mr. Golfer with the bad temper went nuts on  his friends.  Bad, bad man!!! 

 

 

Well, back to packing for me (we'll be gone for a week). 

Hope you enjoyed the yummy Vintage Christmas Eye Candy!!!  :) 

 

BE AT PEACE. 

Choose Joy. 

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing.
